The Sesame-Street President


I can't listen to Obama. I've heard more from him in the last week or so than I'd heard over the past year, and he talks in a dumbed-down, childishly simple-minded form of rhetoric that grates on my adult ears. He plays to the crowd of his adoring acolytes, so his simple-minded banalities go over OK; he doesn't have to change to a more intelligent style. He's always trying to put one over on us; he's manipulating and bamboozling the public, and that never leads to coherent, direct speech.

His Sesame-Street simplicities and homilies suit his simple-minded worshipers, but to me he's just an imitation President.

Why Martha Coakley Lost


Why did Coakley lose, and Brown win?
Simple: You really can't fool all the people all the time.

The Democrats have fooled a lot of people with their quasi-religious holy-roller movement of redistributing money, solving everybody's problems by governmental entitlements, and stealing money from the rich to give to "its rightful owners." That holier-than-thou collectivist cult has fooled a lot of people who don't have any stronger personal and religious values to immunize them from it.

But no matter how many times the media prattled about health-care "reform," the people ultimately knew a takeover when they saw one. They rebelled against that semi-fascist expropriation of a basic, essential aspect of all our lives. They yelled, "REFORM? I say it's spinach, and I say to Hell with it."

The liberals' mania for controlling all our lives and for punishing people who had the effrontery to prosper in their financial lives, met one rebuff. It was a bridge-to-nowhere too far.

Moreover, there was one huge, basic problem with Martha Coakley's campaign: Martha Coakley. She is another in a long line of hatchet-faced, imperious harridans, convinced they came into the world to order people around -- people like Sibelius and Hillary. People didn't fancy the idea of her snapping out commands, making snotty remarks, and generally riding roughshod over all the unwashed, truck-driving common people for six years or more. 

People learned too much about her disgusting, cheap use of power when she had it. For instance, there was the Amirault inquisition or witch-hunt; her role in that was a complete abuse of power:

When Martha Coakley became district attorney of Middlesex County in 1999, the Amiraults were still in the news. But by this time hardly anyone believed they were guilty of the horrendous crimes they were alleged to have committed. In fact there was no evidence that anyone had abused any children in the Fells Acres Day Care.
But what did Martha Coakley do when the Parole Board voted unanimously (5-0) to pardon Gerald Amirault? She did everything in her power to see that he stayed in prison, including sending an assistant DA to oppose his release at the hearing. Coakley also went on talk shows to spout her views about his guilt. (-- Indianapolis Examiner)

She's a guttersnipe who had absolutely no concern about the manifest fact that the Amiraults were innocent. A Madame Ceaucescu-like power-hungry witch devoid of conscience and eager to lord it over the people.

Then there is the matter of her personal Brownshirts, knocking reporters into fence railings.

We've seen too many Evita types in recent years. Martha Cloaka was an Evita too far.

Digging ourselves out of this hole

News Story:
 President Barack Obama outlined major new government stimulus and jobs proposals on Tuesday, saying the nation must continue to "spend our way out of this recession."

Yeah -- grab a shovel, and we'll dig ourselves out of this hole. All the way to China, maybe.

The Latest Asinine Dreck From Harry the Smarmy Ghost


 Harry the Smarmy Ghost (Harry Reid) is infuriating! He's so stupid and so insulting.

 His line of "reasoning" is:
 "If you oppose ObamaCare, you're just like slavery supporters."
 "If you oppose ObamaCare, you're just like opponents of women's suffrage."
 "If you oppose ObamaCare, you're just like Attila the Hun."
 "If you oppose ObamaCare, you're just like Hitler."
 "If you oppose ObamaCare, you're just like Typhoid Mary."

Well Harry, if you can make such stupid, offensive, guttersnipe arguments, you're just like Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
So nyaaah, nyaaah nyaaah nyaaah nyaaah!

Saudi "student" kills Jewish professor

World Net Daily reports:

Muslim student accused of stabbing Jewish prof
        Saudi national entered office, attacked Mideast scholar

A Muslim anthropology graduate student is being charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of a Jewish professor at Binghamton University in Vestal, New York.. . . The man in custody is Abdulsalam Al-Zahrani, 46-year-old Saudi national.
Why, why, why do we keep letting these people into the country? Do we need  46-year-old Saudi "students"? Do we need anybody from any Muslim country? If they're not here, we don't have to worry about who's a murderous medieval maniac and who's a nice, decent  peace-loving Muslim.

Ban them all -- let God sort them out!

Obama promises: medical takeover IS a jobs program.

"Health care reform is our jobs program." That's (in effect) Obama's latest spiel and latest line of jive in touting his medical takeover.

Not only that-- ObamaCare will get your whites whiter and your colors more vibrant.
It's big enough for any man, small enough for any boy.
It will rid your house of mice and in-laws, and cure iron-poor blood.
It tastes great/it's less filling.
It's poly-unsaturated and decaffeinated.

In short, it will do anything your heart desires. Just fill in the blank______________.

JUST VOTE IT IN! Or, if you're just a common, peon non-legislator, shut up and take it.

"Trust me" -- that's science?

From the Sunday Times:

Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.

It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.

You know the old joke, don't you? "Trust me" is Slobbovian for "F--- you!"

The truth is so VERY inconvenient!

NewsBusters says,

Washington Post associate editor Eugene Robinson Friday called the growing ClimateGate scandal a "major embarrassment for the scientists involved" that undermines the "consensus" concerning man's role in global warming.

That's like reading an editorial which said this:

Nativist Times editor Joe Smerdlap deplored the fact that Protocols of the Elders of Zion had been proved to be a hoax. He called the scandal a "major embarrassment for the anti-Semites involved," one which undermines the "consensus" that we ought to have a pogrom.

In other words, they're determined to cling to their policies regardless of what comes to light. And any truth that diverts followers from it, is inconvenient and a nuisance to be swept under the rug. That is a primitive, anti-scientific mindset.

They're bound and determined to adore the Emperor's New Clothes.

Global-Warming: Too Good To Check

There seems to have been a sort of old-boys' club, an insider network of data-manipulators who conspired via email to conceal unpleasant facts about global non-warming.

 Well, all the deniers like me always knew, Global Warming theory wasn't about global warming. It was about hindering economic and industrial development, just like all other enviro crusades. Global warming was worh a million Snail Darters; it shone with the brightness of a million Spotted Owls. It was just Too Good To Check, for protesters, obstructionists, and spoiled leftist brats who like to throw tantrums in public to have their way.

Desperately Trying To Create Female Rambo's


It turns out that the cop heroine, Kimberly Munley, is a second Jessica Lynch -- a female who was "there," on the scene, and who did something, but who the military wants to escalate into some kind of Audie Murphy redux. They keep trying to prop up that PC notion: that women make just as good soldierettes and officerettes as men; that they're not what you and I know they are -- dilettantes and pissants.

Some info from latest news reports:

Witness: Hero Cop's Partner Took Down Hasan

Sgt. Mark Todd's role obscured in Fort Hood aftermath
By Rob Quinn (Newser) – Kimberly Munley's heroism during the Fort Hood shootings isn't in question but her equally heroic partner deserves the credit for actually stopping Nidal Hasan's rampage, according to an eyewitness. Hasan shot Munley as she appeared from behind a building and was reloading, apparently unharmed, when Sgt. Mark Todd came around the corner and shot him several times, the witness tells the New York Times . . .

The PC crowd is always trying to do this -- to build up the "Anything you men can do, we can do better" female boast, and steal a little of men's thunder and men's roles. Remember the heroic soldierette who captured a dog kennel in the invasion of Grenada? It's malicious and aggressive -- not a quest for "justice," as the libbers claim.

Bruins 2, Terrorists 0

For bustin' a gut laughing! Shepherd Smith reported, a few minutes ago, that two terrorists (in India???) picked a cave for their hide-out, and were killed by the previous tenant, A BEAR!

Score one for the ursine team!
A bear's home is his castle, dip-shi'ites!
Here, have a few bear claws!

Let's Go Nuke, Let's Go Electric!

 My prescription for our dependency on imported oil:

According to the New York Times (from the Census Bureau figures for 2000),  there are  36.1 million households with one car, which is "34.2 percent of the population . . .  two-car households account for 38.4 percent, and households with three or more cars total 17.1 percent."

OK, let me check my math here: we have 89.7 percent of households with one or more vehicles. We have 55.5 percent of households with two or more.  So 55.5 / 89.7 car-driving households, or 61.8 % of car-driving households, could replace a car with an electric one. (That doesn't mean 61.8% of cars could be replaced.)

My point is this: people whine and kvetch, saying, "An electric car only gets maybe 100 miles on a charge. How could you go on vacation or on trips with that?" But suppose 61.8 percent of households replaced one (or more) car with an electric one? They could have one electric car for commuting to work every day, and one regular car for over-the-road long trips. (I'd get an electric one, if it was reasonably priced and if it could be recharged with house current -- yer darn right I would!)

Anyway, one electric car in 61.8% of households could mean a 50% drop in the gasoline usage. That's worth going for! I don't know what percentage of our oil imports a 50% drop in gasoline would be, but I know this: it would put a monkey-wrench in the Arabs' works; it would put a crimp in their tails; it would spoil their beer. Because the main reason the medieval Muslin barbarians can cause so much trouble around the world is, they're loaded (with money).

And then for cheap electricity, we need to build nuclear power plants out the wazoo (or on the Yazoo, or anywhere -- I don't care). That means defeating the Yahoo, Luddite, fanatical-environmentalist spoiled brats on the left -- aye, there's the rub. They don't want us to have access to cheap power and transportation -- they want to return to those pastoral scenes of Merrie Olde England, in days of olde, when knights were bolde, and toilet paper wasn't invented.

I have nothing but contempt for the rotten little creeps.

"You fight your war and I'll fight mine" -- sheer brilliance!



Anita Dunn says she was dazzled by the brilliance of Mao's retort, "You fight your war and I'll fight mine."  

So that, by Anita Dunn, show a brilliant philosopher? She should have met Arnold Snerdlap, a guy I used to know in the neighborhood. He once said, "Nice day, if it doesn't rain."

Now THERE'S brilliance!

Sympathy Ploy Doesn't Work on the Olympic Committee

The old "sympathy" ploy didn't work on the Olympics Committee. OK, Mrs. Obama's father had multiple sclerosis; how is that relevant to whether Chicago should get the Olympics? Using that kind of sob story just insulted the Committee.

The Olympic Committee was immune to Obama's usual shuck & jive. Obama is so used to having his way smoothed for him (by affirmative action, conniving machine politicians, corrupt Chicago land developers, etc.) that he thinks everybody just naturally falls down in a dead faint whenever he speaks to them. So he doesn't need to try, doesn't know how to try, doesn't know how to actually earn something or to make a case for his view. When he comes up against a group of un-enthralled, sober arbiters, his song & dance routine doesn't go over..

The Obamas are so precious, so conceited, so self-absorbed. They use their blackness as a weapon: "Have you noticed I'm black?" -- as if to say, "You can't deny me anything, or else you're a racist."  That line of jive didn't carry much weight in Copenhagen.

The Obama stock in trade is manipulation; but the atmosphere in Copenhagen wasn't conducive to their usual manipulation. So, NO SALE.  The Committee probably saw the future, namely, they would never hear the end of Obama's bragging and self-congratulation if they were to give Chicago the Olympics. That would be too, too nauseating.

And what could Obama do if rejected? Threaten to incite blacks to riot? Abuse the Committee in the media? Call them racist? The usual implied threats were non-operative as well.

The unique advantages a conniving, manipulating semi-intelligent black guy has here in the States, aren't carried over in other countries, where there is not the same climate of opinion and accepted set of pieties and blindnesses. In a sane environment, the mediocre, manipulative Obamas don't go over so well.

About Oooogo Chavez.

Please -- don't refer to Hugo Chavez as "Hugo." It's "Oogo." You make a sound like one of those toy bicycle horns with a squeeze-bulb -- "Aooogo! Aooogo!"

You can tell how politically correct a person or thing is with lefties, by how far they bend over backward to pronounce his name EXACTLY as in his native language -- no Americanizing! Thus it's "Cheelay." But not "Frahnce." Not "Deutchlahnd." Cheelay is in vogue with liberals., as is Ooogo. Basically, anything opposed to our country, they like. That makes them intellectuals (even Courtney Love).
